Following a very unexpected twist of events, my friends and I found ourselves at Chappell Roan’s last European concert for the Midwest Princess Tour on Sept. 23, during our time on the Berlin Foreign Study Program. Held at the Velodrom arena, the show replaced an earlier concert she had to cancel and drew a crowd of around 12,000 people — her largest audience outside of a festival to date. The atmosphere was a celebration of her creative vision. Many in the audience dressed like Roan herself, fully embracing the bold, vibrant fashion from her music videos. One person wore a pink cowboy outfit complete with glitter boots, while another sported an angel costume with a heart-patterned skirt and heart-shaped makeup accents. The attention to detail in their looks made the entire experience feel like a living, breathing extension of Roan’s art.

Media entertainment, it seems, is a never-ending source of instant gratification.

It spent 140 weeks on the New York Times Best Seller list and sold 8 million copies. Thus, it was hardly surprising that fans were ecstatic when director Justin Baldoni optioned the film adaptation in July 2019. Starring Baldoni as Ryle and Blake Lively as Lily Bloom, the movie premiered on Aug. 9 and exceeded $100 million at the global box office in its first week.
Sabrina Carpenter is back with her sixth studio album, “Short n’ Sweet,” released on Aug. 23 by Island Records.
